Game Day Food: 50 Super Bowl Recipe Ideas
by Sarah W. Caron • January 26, 2012 • Celebrate • 12 Comments
With the Super Bowl approaching, I am kind of like a kid anticipating a favorite holiday — Easter or a birthday or something. See, I am from New York and my home team — the Giants — are playing. Super Bowl Sunday will be extra special for me this year as I get to root for a team I’ve had an affinity for since childhood. Of course, there is that little detail that my husband is from Massachusetts and will be rooting against my Giants. But that may make it more fun, actually.
Of course, everyone knows that the Super Bowl isn’t just about the game or the teams. It’s about commercials that may or may not be the talk of the water cooler. And it’s about the food — the delicious game day food.
Have you thought about what you’re making this year? If not (or if you are thinking now), this list will help. I scoured Pinterest, Foodily and my favorite sites to come up with 50 fabulous recipes perfect for your Super Bowl party. Enjoy!

Thanks for the mention! You have an amazing collection of recipes for the Superbowl! A really nice and thorough guide
You are so welcome! Have a great weekend.
It’s funny, our Superbowl tradition involves me NOT cooking. One of the only days of the year.
Ha! We do somewhat of a potluck. I usually make a dip and a dessert.
Great list, and thanks for including me!
Thanks, Kalyn!
Thanks so much for including me on this list — now, can you do anything to help the Patriots win???
You are so welcome … but as for the Pats, no way
I am a Giants fan!
What’s better than Nachos on Game Day? Go Giants!
